Lords division · 25 Mar 2004 · No. 6

Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill

It was moved by the Lord Bridges, in Clause 12, page 6, line 35, at end to insert: “( ) In all ordinary circumstances, planning authorities shall pay heed to the existing statutes which confer protection on landscapes in the National Parks, in this case section 62 of the Environment Act 1995 (c. 25) (duty of certain bodies and persons to have regard to the purposes for which National Parks are designated) and in the case of areas of outstanding natural beauty, section 86 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (c. 37) (establishment of conservation boards).”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 50

Contents: 50 Not Contents: 100

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 50 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

The party breakdowns are our own analysis of the official voting records (recorded votes only; they do not describe the formal whip). How we work this out.

Peers attend divisions ad hoc, so there is no did-not-vote list. Tellers are counted in the Content and Not Content totals, unlike in the Commons.

Tellers: Lord Bridges (Content), Lord Chorley (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
